It's a finish!
Crossroads
42 x 63
Since 2024 I have been making blocks from 3.5 and 4.5 inch width scraps as one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) projects. All have brown sashings with red centers.
In September 2025 I assembled one of two tops. This is a child sized comfort quilt made from the blocks. The other will be larger. For this one I used mostly the novelties, geometrics and bright colors.
I quilted it with horizontal and vertical lines.
The back.
And sew on...

A little quilting marathon is going on here in March . Soon I will have boxes of comfort quilts to send off to two of my favorite charities that provide quilts for kids - Wrap-A-Smile (WAS) and Quilts Beyond Borders. (QBB).
Wrap-A-Smile (WAS) partners with Rotaplast International.
Rotaplast International, Inc. is committed to helping children and families worldwide by eliminating the burden of cleft lip and/or palate, burn scarring, and other deformities.
Quilts Beyond Border (QBB) quilts go to many different initiatives...foster care, refugees, Indian reservations, orphanages, women's recovery centers...you will just have to go read the QBB blog because I can't remember them all.
Cathy, we can't keep up with you! The crossroads blocks are a great design idea.
ReplyDeleteGreat finish! I love the single consistent small red square across the quilt. Doesn't take much fabric but it pulls it all together!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday :-)
After seeing your crossroads blocks, I’ve cut up so many pieces to make one of these quilts. I need to get around to actually making one! Love the quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is so cheerful and it looks like the perfect quilt to curl up with on a cold winters night :) Or to cheer you when you're feeling low.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great block for using up those scrap that aren't big enough to make a star block. The use of all brown crosses unifies everything. It looks great. I agree with Nann; we can't keep up with you! Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt. Great way to use scraps.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely liv how you did the back,now I know what to do with all the yardages I've had forever & a day🤣 the quilt looks so comfy & cozy
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love the front (need to make a crossroads quilt of my own) it's the striped back that has my heart. Great finish all the way around!
ReplyDeleteLike Chantal, I agree with Nann about your productivity, but had to laugh because Nana is no slouch when it comes to productivity, either. I'm think this crossroad block would work well with florals, using greens for the cross pieces with yellow centers. Not that I need to start another quilt.

Good idea Pat! And I was about to give away all my green scraps today. Maybe I will hang on to them until I try out your color scheme.
DeleteI really like the brown sashing strips with red center squares for your crossroads quilt. So effective! Great choice for your fabrics! I enjoy seeing all your projects and your quilting!
